I have always avoided the park with extra magic hours because i have heard they are busier on those days. This trip I am thinking of going to the parks with morning EMH and then using a park hopper to visit another park after an afternoon break at the resort. For those of you that do this do you find the crowds during morning EMH's to be much lighter than on a regular rope drop day? We have never taken afternoon breaks before and am not sure how much time to allow to leave park and comeback. We are going the 1st week of October and I am thinking it might be nice to be out of the parks mid day when it's the busiest and hottest.
